PrivTracker – Private BitTorrent tracker for everyone

Does a private tracker provide any meaningful security if I'm already encrypting the contents of the torrent?

The tracker is just there to help you connect to peers. I wonder if somebody connected to the tracker could know all the torrents that are being shared. But probably not.

Only if you avoid connecting to the DHT, and public users not on the private tracker. It's a niche usage and not really that well supported.
